Reply With QuoteHow happy am I that I decided against the Hyland on the new trailer and went with an AT35 despite the difficulty in getting it lined up each time.
And fancy you stirring the pot over there at campertrailer land, shame on you

I have created a bit of a kaffule on the camper trailers mailing list.
i have a client who is heavily involved in the caravan and trailer repair industry. he and i were talking about these couplings as i had heard they were good and was interested in buying one.
bugger...
it appears they have a bit of a problem with some setups, espcially those with 90kg or heavier ball weight.
if you need to use load levellers you really should not use one of them as they grab the towball and undo it :P
have a look here
it is not an isolated case.

I am a bit supprise both Kedron and Bushtracker use these hitches. By the way what is the site you are refering to?

ida thought locktite on the threads, a double nut and some moly on the ball would have stopped this...
but I havent played seriouly with those hitches...
When i tow real big and heavy I got straight to a pintle, (or 5th wheel if i get the choice)

it really concerns me what i have seen since starting to look into this.
the slowly undoing the towball one freaks me out....
he hadnt told me about that one but was reminded when one came into the yard when i was on the phone to him asking for permission to give his email to the guy running the campertrailer list.
if you need load levelers DONT use a hyland. and to be legal most toyotas need levellers with a 120kg ball weight, i am told!
i am certainly coping some **** over it...

it isnt hard at all once you work it out :Pa tiny bit of understatement there I fancy
i remove the whole hitch from the drawbar, i get the missus to back the truck while i line it up... after a few initial practice runs we do it in no time flat most of the time now :P
padlock never comes off the at35 these days and i have modified a plastic bottle to put over the assembly to keep the crap out of it.

no it doesnt... it usually breaks something :P
the head of the coupling snaps off or the ball shears, usually.

bushtracker...
i can say very little of what i know but i have heard of a few problems with their smaller offroad vans and the hitch, all heard second hand, i have no first hand knowledge but my source is extremely reliable IMO.
